1. A Class A contractor license in Virginia allows the holder
to:
A) Perform single contracts or projects valued at $120,000 or
more, and work of any value per year
B) Perform single contracts or projects up to $30,000 only
C) Perform single contracts or projects up to $10,000 only
D) Bid only on government jobs
Answer: A
Rationale: According to Va. Code § 54.1-1100, a Class A
contractor may perform or manage construction, removal, repair,
,Page 2 of 157
or improvements when (i) the total value referred to in a single
contract or project is $120,000 or more, or (ii) the total value
of all projects within any 12-month period is $750,000 or
more. Class A contractors have no upper limit on individual
project size.
2. A Class B contractor is generally restricted to single
contracts or projects with a total value of no more than:
A) $10,000
B) $50,000
C) $120,000
D) $250,000
Answer: C
Rationale: Va. Code § 54.1-1100 defines Class B contractors as
those who perform or manage construction when the total value
referred to in a single contract or project is $10,000 or more
but less than $120,000, and the total value of projects in a
,Page 3 of 157
12-month period is less than $750,000. The upper limit on a
single contract is $120,000.
3. A contractor whose annual volume of work consistently
exceeds $750,000 should hold which class of license?
A) Class C
B) Class B
C) Class A
D) No license is required if only residential
Answer: C
Rationale: The definition for Class A includes an annual
threshold: total value of all projects in a 12-month period
of $750,000 or more triggers the requirement for a Class A
license, regardless of the size of any single contract. Class B is
limited to less than $750,000 annually.
4. A contractor performs a single residential renovation with a
contract price of $115,000. This project falls under which
, Page 4 of 157
license class?
A) Class C
B) Class B
C) Class A
D) No license needed if the contractor has a bachelor's degree
Answer: B
Rationale: A single contract of $115,000 is less than $120,000,
so the contractor may operate with a Class B license as long as
the $750,000 annual volume is not exceeded. A Class A license
would also be legally sufficient, but a Class B licensee would not
be allowed to perform a single contract valued at $120,000 or
more.
5. What is the maximum annual volume (total projects in 12
months) for a properly licensed Class C contractor?
A) $1,000
B) $30,000
